administration. former bush justice department official john yoo will contend that executive power has gone beyond its constitutional limits under president obama. also coming up, ellen malcolm will recount her creation of emily's list which works to elect pro-choice democratic women to political office. and this weekend washington post columnist e.j. dionne will argue that the republican party's adoption of senator barry goldwater's conservative principles is driving away moderate voters. >> but i am very concerned with what has happened to the american right over the last 50 years because i think that the obstruction that you've seen in washington of the inability for the matters to get things done owes far more to the radicalization of the right than it does to anything that's happened on the left. and, you know, the prime example of that, oddly, is obamacare which was a plan obama put forward that relied very heavily on ideas that conservatives had put forward 5, 10, 20 years before. it resembled

the american people made clear that they wanted a check on the obama administration in november, 2014, when they put republicans in the majority in the senate. now we have an obligation to use that mandate from the people for issues that matter most to our country, and that includes the direction of the supreme court. my constituents are right to care deeply about this because there is so much at stake. as i said, the next supreme court justice could well change the balance of the supreme court for a generation and fundamentally reshape american society in the process. so the people should have a chance for input and should have a voice. i'm proud to stand alongside my republican colleagues and make sure that their voice is heard in the next selection of a lifetime appointment to the court. mr. president, i yield the floor. mr. president, if i could withhold that. mr. president, i have ten unanimous consent requests for committees to meet during today's session of the senate. these have been approved by both the majority and minority leaders. i'd ask consent that these requests be agr
